Hello everyone! I hope all is well. The weeks seem to be going by way too fast. I guess it will start to go by even faster once the holidays hit. :) We have been so busy with Ales's school bird house project, swimming lessons, soccer practice and games. Enzo is our little assistance through all of this hullabuloo. I still feel soo bad he wants to play on his bubba's soccer team. Well, soon enough. I am thinking about putting him in a Soccer tot or tumbling kids gymnastics program. He is just dying to get out there and do it on his own.
Our lives are filled with so much stuff that it is nice to blog my cares about my family and friends. Sort of like a meditation.
Our two sons are our greatest accomplishments. They inspire us to do so much in life. Of course there are days that they get in my hair and yell no at me, but overall they are my little men.
Currently i am teaching Ales about trust. The word trust is so abstract, but it turns out to be beautiful in the way the children learn about their meaning. So, i asked Ales, "What is trust?" He says, "when you are telling the truth." I said correct and then stated the question in another direction, "Who do you trust?" He said, " I trust Mom, Dad, Enzo, Grandma, and God." Trust is a life value that must be inherently learned. It is interesting how children interpret the abstract.
Okay enough lecture...
I forgot to post my experience with the substitute gig at Warren High School San Antonio, TX.
It was fun and i learned alot; like do not wear semi brand new high heels to school. My tootsies are still recovering. This school has to be the size of the Alamo dome. There are three levels in four different buildings. These buildings do not include the gym, bandhall, or ROTC building. I had about seven different classes with no less than 23 kids in each class. It was frightening at first, but i soon got the hang of it. Nonetheless, I had a very enriching experience and plan to attend again next Friday.
Well, i hope everyone is doing great these first couple of weeks of the school year. I can not wait for holiday pics. Halloween is on the way. I am a big Halloween freak soo please blog your pics on your websites. Ales might be a spartan warrior because he loves the movie 300. Enzo wants to be a pirate. So we have ideas in the mix. What are your ideas for Halloween?
